So, the entertainment at the Birthday party today was Bingo ..... There were quite a few prizes as it was for fun and the prizes were a bit silly sometimes. Anyway, despite playing lots of cards I didn't win but my Mom did .....yay ! And her prize was a book of crossword puzzles .....and she does love crosswords so that was perfect . ( Other prizes included moth balls and hemorrhoid cream ! ).

@traceyjayne Did you see who won that cream? At a holiday cottage we stayed in a few years ago in Donegal among the supplies left for our use by the owner was a tub of stool softener. I was baffled. I’d never heard of such a thing and had to be enlightened by my wife.

Oh dear ! What a strange thing to leave for people. I’m not even going to ask if you found it useful ! It was another of Moms cousins who won it, she is 70, but said she had no need for it ….yet ! ( another cousin who is a former nurse shouted up ….”it’s very good for getting rid of bags under your eyes !” )

OK, your family sounds as humorous as my dad’s family since those were the prizes!

I’m glad your mom got the crossword puzzles; I like them too. Is she all better from the shingles?

@AmbiePam she is better now , thank goodness. Thank you x Yes, we certainly have a laugh when we get together, which sadly isn’t very often these days. Firstly Covid and then we have sadly lost many members of the family through age or illness,
